Our Boys’ Baggies™ Shorts work the water-to-shoreline circuit with ease. Made of lightweight, quick-drying, 3-ply 4-oz Supplex® nylon with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish for wind- and water-resistance and 50+ UPF sun protection. These water shorts have bartacks at all stress points and an elasticized waist with an external drawcord. Quick-drying, built-in mesh liner; mesh pockets for drainage. Inseam is 6".

Water Resistant

DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.

Sun Protection

Lacking fur, feathers or scales, we humans have to think up clever ways to protect ourselves from the sun. Products with the UPF designation provide built-in sun protection that won’t wear off.

UPF stands for “Ultraviolet Protection Factor.” This value represents the fractional amount of the sun’s harmful UV rays that pass through a fabric. A rating of “25” indicates that only 1/25th , or 4% of the UV rays pass through the garment.

Patagonia products with rated UPF protection are tested independently to meet Australia/New Zealand or AATCC protocols. A rating of 15-24 earns a product a rating of “good”; a rating of 25-39 is "very good"; and a rating of 40-50+ is “excellent.” *
